Homophobes

There are those who laugh at my sexuality, choosing to oppress my individuality labeling me a queer to be despised throughout society, I used to fear being queer, giving in to the hate of the straight men of my age, never able to gauge the beauty of who i was, nothing to do but resign to the fate they had chosen to designate, so they thrive off the pleasure they derive from the pain as they chain me to the wall, trying to make me fall into the snare as i try to fly into the air, I’m done caring what other people think, why should i bother to impress people who cause me more stress, honestly i hate that straight guys can harass gay guys in this state and make them quit school, because they think they’re so cool, and that were a bunch of faggots, when they’re a bunch of bigots who can’t get a life and need to shut up because we didn’t choose to be this way so butt out of ours, so we don’t make ourselves cease to exist and can live in peace

Loved it! Just one problem: People who make fun of gays are not MEN They are IMMATURE BOYS who think it's FUNNY to ruin other people's lives just because they are DIFFERENT. I've seen it happen to my friend, and I am SO NOT happy about it. But back to the writing :) The rhyme scheme was awesome like RoseMonster said :) And I loved the message as well! Great Job and Keep Writing!!! :):):);)

Hey! Just wanted to pop in and say that I really enjoyed this! I love the rhyme scheme, and it has a very nice conclusion and a strong, firm message. I myself have never dealt with homophobia (though I am homosexual myself) but I think this would be a good response to those who can't see beyond their biases. Good job!
